Since when did a mental health patient's outfit (whatever that is) become a traditional Halloween costume. Incredible how stupid the buyers are in these stores at times.

Asda outfit looks ok for Halloween, just the wording is wrong..should have simply called It a "Mad axeman outfit"

In Halloween/Horror films, some of them use characters that have escaped from mental wards. Are we to ban these films next for depicting people with mental health problems in a bad light? Stan Collymore complains about anything and everything. Maybe they should replace them with a dogging costume, or maybe a wife/girlfriend beater one.



I should imagine this will help push the prices up on ebay and other sites.

Don't really think they had to name it mental patient, they could have called it something else. That's not funny but the daily mail comments are
